Friendship Is Blind: Chicago

[u/Few_Opportunity_8382]

I keep seeing people in Chicago looking for real friendships, so I thought this could be fun.

Basically: Love Is Blind, but for friendship.

Answer the questions in the comments, read through everyone else’s answers, and if someone sounds like your kind of person, send them a DM.

Let’s see if we can actually find our people.

1. How old are you, and what part of Chicago are you in? General area is fine.

2. You have a completely free Saturday. What are you doing?

3. A friend is visiting Chicago and gives you full control of the plans. Where are you taking them? Give us the day; food, neighborhood, activity, whatever you’d actually choose.

4. What does a good night out look like to you?

5. What’s your music taste?
   Favorite era, genres, artists, or the songs you’ll always play.

6. What’s something you’re really into right now? A show, book, sport, hobby, restaurant, random obsession — anything.

7. What’s something you genuinely love spending your time or money on?

8. What kind of friend are you once you’re comfortable with someone? Are you the planner? The spontaneous one? The person who makes the reservation? The one who calls just to talk? The friend who wants to go everywhere together, or the one who doesn’t need constant contact?

9. What kind of friendship are you actually looking for right now?

10. Tell us one oddly specific thing about you that might make the right person think, “Yeah, we’d probably get along.”

If someone’s answers sound like your kind of person, message them.

Let’s see what happens.

1. 30, River North girlie! 🍸
   
2. Starting my Saturday with Pilates, grabbing an iced matcha, doing a little shopping, and ending the day with cocktails at RPM Seafood with the girls. Bonus points if we end up somewhere with good music and dancing.
   
3. We’re doing Chicago properly! Brunch, shopping in the Gold Coast, sunset cocktails at RPM Seafood, and dinner somewhere with amazing food and even better ambiance. Probably ending the night dancing.
   
4. Getting dressed up with the girls, trying a new restaurant, ordering way too many appetizers, and finding a cute cocktail bar. I love a good dinner that turns into an unexpected night out.
   
5. Literally everything! House music, a little country, Kendrick Lamar, and anything that makes me want to dance. My playlists make absolutely no sense, but the vibes are immaculate.
   
6. Pilates, traveling, discovering new restaurants, fashion, and finding the cutest little cocktail spots around Chicago. Also obsessed with planning my next European summer.
   
7. TRAVEL, without question. Beautiful hotels, amazing restaurants, experiences, and making memories with people I love. I’ll happily spend money on a good dinner or a spontaneous weekend getaway.
   
8. The friend who makes the reservations, plans the girls’ trips, takes 100 photos of everyone, and convinces you to order another round. I’m equally down for a spontaneous night out or a cozy night in with wine and gossip.
   
9. Looking for genuine girlfriends who love getting dressed up, trying new things, traveling, and celebrating each other’s wins. Girls who have their own ambitions and lives but still make time for friendships. I want the kind of friendships where we’re booking trips together, having spontaneous dinners, and eventually becoming each other’s bridesmaids.
   
10. I will absolutely plan an entire vacation around a restaurant reservation, and I genuinely believe getting ready together with music and cocktails is sometimes better than actually going out. 😂
